The tree of liberty is being hacked to pieces and dried up. It's time to care for liberty and water the tree.

Making our own decisions IS freedom. I don't take drugs because the law says not to, I don't take drugs because I have better ways to spend my money and drugs could kill me. I swear by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another person, nor ask another to live for mine!

Thank god for the internet.

True, but ... Freiheit stirbt in kleinen Teilen (Freedom dies in small pieces).

There is no way to restrain a politician except not re-elect them. They have made so many rules in their favor, it is difficult for any challenger to win.

i.e. "We need to prohibit handguns to make us feel safer." Personally, I carry to BE safer.

The U.S. government uses propaganda to get the people to tell them to do what they are constitutionally forbidden from doing.

Similar with all rights, use them or lose them. For example, buy a gun and protect the Second Amendment, which adds support to the First Amendment.

Government power is limited by the Constitution. Congress oversteps their authority with most laws they create.

Eliminating welfare would save a great deal of money, and charities would take up the slack for those truly unable to work. People bilking the system would be forced to get a job.

Yes. Government should leave us (and other countries) alone.

It is plain to see Congress has gone well beyond their powers.

Yes, terrorists created our country. In 200 years, will Iraqi insurgents be considered the "founding fathers of Iraq"? Probably! Like them, we would kill those invading our country, even if the invaders argue they are freeing us.

The Patriot Act is killing liberty.

In the United States, liberty is being stomped on by force. Soon we will have no liberty, only a police state.

Our politicians are rendering us silent and immovable. Vote for changes, like a Libertarian President.

What are we fighting for in Iraq? Oil ... er, the freedom of the Iraqi people!

Amusing and stereotypically true,

One current example of this is "The War on Drugs", which has strengthened the gangs selling drugs.

And we would have fewer laws to keep track of.

...look at Tom Delay! Here's an example of how our government gets around the laws they have created.

Our tyrannical government is strong (think FBI, CIA, military, etc.), but it is also corrupt and often void of justice.

Prohibition didn't work on alcohol, and it isn't working on drugs. Legalize drugs, removing the money, so drug gangs will fall apart, returning the neighborhoods to the people.

...have you checked the tax code lately?

Congress and the Senate are hornets, and rich businessmen are wasps. I think the people need some "Raid".
